Johannesburg Water is proving temporary alternative source of water supply through tanks at Bloubosrand and surrounding areas, which are still experiencing shortages following an emergency shutdown since yesterday.

Completion time on repairs of a burst pipe is still unconfirmed owing to the complexity of work and sourcing non-standard material to complete repairs.

We urge residents to remain active partners in reducing the amount of water used in the City of Johannesburg, and to report any form of vandalism and theft of water infrastructure to 0800 00 25 87.Residents are encouraged to subscribe on our website, to our SMS notification service for alerts on planned or unplanned service interruptions.

More information can be obtained on twitter: @jhbwater; facebook: Johannesburg Water and our website www.johannesburgwater.co.za.
